G
Want some whiskey in your water?
Or sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the wildest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see

Chorus:
G                       B C C#dim7
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said "that ain't no way to have fun"

Open up the window,
let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
on the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smokin'
is about scare me half to death
Open up the window, let me catch my breath

Chorus:
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said, "That ain't the way to have fun, uh-uh!"

The radio is blastin',
someone's knockin' on the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend -
she's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't you turn on the lights -
I don't wanna see no more

Chorus:
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said, "That ain't the way to have fun, son!"
